Does anyone have a recommendation for a beeor wasp exterminator? We have 15 to 20flying insects swarming in our yard and I don’t want to get close enough tothem to find out if they're either bees or wasps.

Wow "15 or 20 flying insects" in your back yard of all places. How this is a "swarm" of anything is hysterical. Maybe all those horrible flowers growing back there have attracted this "swarm." kill the flowers, not the bees or better yet build a huge screened in back yard, that will get out all flying life forms.

bees are beneficial insects that pollinate everything on the planet. without them there would not be any fruit, flowers and honey. There is a huge crisis in that bees are dying in droves and we are going to face a huge crisis (larger than flying insects in a backyard) Thanks to man's insecticides and flying bug contraptions, we are killing off beneficial insects along with pests. We need to get more in touch with nature.

Get on your computer and identify what you have flying out there. yellow jackets and wasps - these are pests and you don't want to be stung by them. Call any pest control to identify and isolate the pests fir extermination. Bees dont sting unless you provoke them and they should never be killed.

ToBrooklynNavyYard: Perhaps I didn't explain my concerns wellenough. I didn't mean one or two beesflying around my flowers. I reallymeant a swarm in a very small area, they do not go from flower to flower, and they stayin one two square foot spot.

Not that Ineed to explain myself to you, but here are four reasons why I have to dealwith this.

1.I don’tknow what they are and I can’t use my yard to water my plants, something thatgives me pleasure, I don’t want to get stung.

2.Iam currently undergoing chemo, my oncologist has made it clear I can’t get aninfection.

3.Thereare small children who live next door. I’ve already spoken to my neighbor and we've agreed the children willnot play near that part of the fence until this is resolved. The swarm is in a single spot near the fence.

4.Ihave a tenant; we offer shared use of the garden. It should be obvious why the tenant can’t usethe garden until this is resolved.

After posting my comment about not killing the bees, a wasps nest appeared outside our front door. They decided that our front window made a perfect shelter for their hive. I called the NYPD to get Tony Bees as suggested but they will only deal with public property. My husband found a terrific person on the internet. Mickey the Beekeeper.com. He came by, stuck the nest in a container and relocated them far away. He doesn't use chemicals which was important to us as we have a small child. And I am sure you don't want to be exposed to any more chemicals than you have to. Since he removed the hive a few days ago I haven't seen any more wasps. If you do have bees perhaps he can adopt them. Hope things are going well with the chemo and you recover from whatever cancer you may have. Sorry that you had to post that information.
